Come Hell or
high water, the Texas Senate is bent on taking public money and disbursing it
to private entities. Think of this
as the Anti-Robin Hood Plan.
Here’s how it works.

First the
Senate proposes a budget that that reduces tax revenue by about $4 billion
dollars.This means less money for
infrastructure, maintenance and social services... statewide.

Then the
Senate proposes creating a line item business tax deduction of $100 million to
fund private school scholarships.Which means that the cut to the state budget would actually be $4.1
billion.

So I’ll
subtract all the pretty political language and smoke and mirrors and tell you
what this really means.

The Texas
Senate believes that it is more important to subsidize private schools for the
few than to provide for better roads, hospitals, medical care, public higher
education, public schools and law enforcement for the state as a whole.

The Texas
Senate believes that it is better to take from the public to enrich and support
private entities.I don’t know
what you call this, but my Momma taught me that this is tantamount to stealing.

If it sounds
like stealing to you, call your State Senator, Governor Abbott and Lt. Gov.
Patrick and tell them that you oppose Senate Bill 4 (which should be known as
The Sheriff of Nottingham Plan), you have a long memory, and most
importantly... You Vote!

Think. Work. Achieve.

Your turn...
